In a few short hours 23 kids and 4 adults from First Baptist Church Marietta will be heading to PASSPORTkids Camp in Crossville, TN. We will join several other churches from the southeast for 4 days of camp where we will grow in our relationships with each other and with God.
At camp kids will participate in Bible study groups, recreation, worship, mission activities, swimming, canoeing, messy game night, a Missions Night Market, a variety show, and lots of other fun filled activities.
During our time at camp the these will be Follow The Road. Our key verse for the week will be John 14:6a, " Jesus said, 'I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me.'" (The Message)
"A road may be the familiar one we travel every day, or it may be a new one that leads to lots of
interesting places. There may be twists and turns and intersections where we have choices to make.
Choosing to follow Christ is like setting out on a journey. The early disciples followed Jesus on
roads through Galilee, over the mountains, and all the way to Jerusalem, learning and serving and
helping. How will our life—our journey—be different with Jesus guiding us? Will we let go of old,
selfish ways of doing things and become more loving? Will we use all our heart and mind in our
relationships with God and others? Will we go out of our way to stand up for people who are
suffering? Will we let God give us the power to help others?
Every day, God provides new opportunities for us to follow Jesus’ example and teachings. Wherever we are, we are “on the Road.” And even when faced with the unexpected, we can be sure of one thing... God is with us as we Follow the Road. " [Taken from PASSPORTkids! Group Leader Packet.]
As we prepare to journey along this road together, keep us in your prayers. Pray for safety. Pray for the PASSPORTkids! Staff that will be leading us. Pray for rest at night. Pray that we all, young and old, continue to grow in our journey as we all follow the road together.
